Chapter 685: Tripwire trap

A few days later, Lin Rui took six team members and the female doctor who accompanied the team into the jungle of Africa. Please search ()! The fastest novel. They successfully traversed the minefields of the inland jungles of Africa and found their way in the dense tropical rain forests on the Congo River.
The area where they are located is hundreds of kilometers in radius full of muddy swamps, lush vegetation covering the sky, and river banks densely covered with ferns. There are many birds and beasts, poisonous snakes are infested, and the air is humid and hot. There is no road here and it is extremely difficult to enter the hinterland.
There are no beasts such as tigers, lions and wolves; animals such as buffaloes, gorillas and monkeys are not afraid of people. Moreover, the natural environment is extremely primitive, as if nothing has changed at all since the Mesozoic.
"How far is it to get to that destination?" Sergey said in anguish, "This place is like Pandora. Except for trees, it's trees."
"And the bugs and snakes." Jason used the jungle machete in his hand to chop off a small green snake climbing on a tree. This is a tree-dwelling snake. They can often be found in the jungle.
"What are the people in this country doing, why can't they make a decent road?" Wang Haoze shrugged, "In this way, we don't have to abandon our off-road vehicles and go on foot in this rotten wood."
"People here? Most of the warlords are busy fighting another warlord, and they generally believe that war is more important than development. In fact, just to maintain this area, the United Nations will spend a lot of money a year, enough for them to build several roads. "Jiang An shrugged. "But our strong African brothers believe that a road for development is far less than a batch of guns that can be used for war."
Jason waved the machete in his hand and opened the way in the jungle. "But I have to say that this kind of travel speed is too slow, and we will have to walk a few days to reach the destination. It is really hard to believe that today with the highly developed technology, our combat methods have degraded to before World War II. The degree of foot walking.
Couldn't the US military send a helicopter to help us cross this jungle? We must know that during the Vietnam War, we already relied on helicopters to fight in the jungle and mountains. "
"They have done this. The US military in the previous few operations used this method, but they all failed. The worst was hit by a Stinger anti-aircraft missile while flying at a low altitude. The helicopter exploded and disintegrated in the air, killing all of them. "Lin Rui said slowly, "The accident site was less than 20 kilometers away from us. Do you still expect to rely on helicopters now?"
"Yes, no one knows what is in this jungle. The safest way is to investigate on foot and don't let go of any suspicious clues." Jiang An agreed.
"But there is no way here at all, how did they get in and out?" Wang Haoze frowned. "And to set up a biochemical virus laboratory, they need a lot of material support."
"It's probably also by helicopter," Jason replied. "Or, there are other ways to their camp."
"Maybe." Lin Rui chopped down a piece of vine, then put away the knife in his hand, "Okay, Jason, let's rest for a while." Jason also put away the machete, sat down nearby, and added something. water. Opening a road in the rain forest is a laborious task, which consumes a lot of their physical strength.
Jiang Jian whispered, "I don't feel right, it seems to be too quiet here."
"You are a suspicious Chinese." Sergey shook his head. "This is already deep in the jungle. It will be abnormal if there is any movement."
"I didn't mean that." Jiang An frowned. "This is a tropical rain forest in the Congo Basin. There should be many birds inhabit, but there are very few birds in this area."
"What does this mean?" Sergey frowned.
"Animals are very easy to form conditioned reflexes. If there are frequent human activities in this area, it will disturb the birds and make them find another habitat." Jiangan slowly said.
"It makes sense. Especially if there is a large helicopter taking off and landing, the huge roar is enough to make all the surrounding animals retreat." Lin Rui nodded, "I think we'd better be on guard now. Maybe we have already entered some key points. Area." His words made all players feel heavy.
After a short break, they began to move on. In a relatively open area in the jungle, Lin Rui suddenly took his feet and made a stop gesture behind him.
All the team members stopped, squatting on the side of the bush, alertly. "What's wrong, what did you find?" Jiang An whispered.
"It's not just that it feels wrong." Lin Rui whispered, "This open area in the jungle looks very abrupt."
Jiang An turned his head to the front, but it was not a very large open space. There are no clumps of trees and vines, but there is nothing special on the ground, it is just covered with leaves in the forest. "What's wrong?"
"According to such a climate and precipitation, it is impossible not to grow plants here. This open space looks a bit unusually abrupt." Lin Rui said cautiously, "Maybe it's a trap. You are all waiting, I will pass."
Jason nodded, lowered his voice, "Be careful."
Lin Rui moved slowly forward with a slower pace, then squatted down to observe his face carefully. Suddenly he noticed a very thin and secret line. He couldn't help taking a breath, tripping mine? ! No, it doesn't seem like it. It's more like a trigger trap. He made a gesture backwards, and the team members got the signal and evacuated to both sides.
Lin Rui squatted down and frowned slightly. He can now be sure that this is not a landmine, and landmines would not use such a sophisticated tripwire structure. He triggered the tripwires with the gun in his hand, and then the whole person suddenly dived to one side, and almost at the same time, a row of sharply sharpened wooden piles fell rapidly over his head.
Deeply inserted where Lin Rui stood just now. This change surprised everyone. One end of these stakes were all sharply cut, and stones were tied to both sides to increase weight. The force that caused the fall was so great that it was all submerged in the mud at once. If Lin Rui hadn't been prepared earlier, he would definitely be nailed to the ground by this row of sharp wooden stakes.
This is a trap with a sophisticated layout.
Lin Rui stood up and got up from the ground, beckoning the other team members to come over, and squat down together in the weird trap.
"Be careful, this is a tripwire trap, which is very delicately done. Maybe there will be more nearby. From now on everyone must be vigilant. Every step may be dangerous." Lin Rui whispered.
